COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS @ TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING PREDICTION
Despite missing key forward Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay Lightning hold a 3-1 lead coming into game five and they will be keen to seal the win and not hand any more hope to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Lightning are coming off their most complete performance of the playoffs so far and they remain determined to avenge the first-round sweep that the Blue Jackets handed out to them last year. They will expect the Blue Jackets to play with great desperation and urgency here, and assuming they match that intensity, the Lightning can see this game series out in a game that should be low scoring and under 5.5 goals is expected.
